Molti – ancora – salgono a bordo di un aereo con apprensione, la mente occupata da ciò che potrebbe accadere di pericoloso durante il volo: un guasto meccanico, un malore dei piloti, un evento atmosferico proibitivo. Inoltre, soprattutto prima dei noti fatti dell’11 settembre 2001, poteva capitare con allarmante frequenza che un velivolo di linea fosse anche oggetto di attenzioni non volute da parte di un’ampia tipologia di gruppi terroristici o personaggi che per ideali malriposti, sete di vendetta, richieste di denaro o per disperati gesti di protesta, decidevano di dare una svolta imprevista al volo, trasformandolo in un incubo ad occhi aperti per passeggeri ed equipaggio. Dirottamenti, sequestri di persone, bombe e omicidi a bordo hanno rappresentato per molti decenni un vero assillo per le forze dell’ordine di mezzo mondo e per i servizi di sicurezza di aeroporti e aerolinee. Questo libro, scritto con maestria da un pilota civile di grandissima esperienza, contiene tre racconti lunghi in cui la fantasia si mescola con la realtà per descrivere con terrificante precisione il possibile verificarsi di attentati e azioni violente ai danni di velivoli di linea. Una lettura adrenalinica che vi porterà a bordo di aerei che preferireste non prendere mai.

Andare nello spazio oggi non è più una novità e, anzi, secondo molti presto sarà un’attività quasi di routine, destinata non solo a piloti, scienziati e specialisti, ma anche a facoltosi turisti. Ma negli anni ‘60 la situazione era ben diversa, e non fu per niente facile passare dalle prime capsule sperimentali alle navette spaziali. Tra tutte le persone che finora hanno avuto il privilegio di volare oltre i vincoli terrestri, una delle più interessanti è senza dubbio l’astronauta statunitense John W. Young, entrato a far parte della NASA nel 1962. Da quei primi anni avventurosi, in cui lanciarsi nello spazio a bordo delle capsule Gemini era un grande rischio, per quanto calcolato, Young è passato alle celebri missioni Apollo, circumnavigando la Luna e successivamente facendo escursioni sulla sua superficie, sia a piedi che con il caratteristico rover lunare. In seguito la NASA decise di inaugurare lo Space Shuttle, la celeberrima navetta spaziale, senza compiere preventivamente lanci di prova senza equipaggio. E John W. Young era ai comandi di quel primo Shuttle. Negli anni successivi Young ha continuato a lavorare per la NASA, occupandosi soprattutto di sicurezza degli equipaggi. Questo libro descrive minuziosamente tutto ciò che è accaduto a terra e nello spazio durante quarant’anni di attività della NASA, narrato da uno dei protagonisti. Un volume imperdibile per gli appassionati di astronautica, impreziosito da 220 fotografie, molte delle quali inedite e alcune fornite direttamente dalla famiglia del comandante Young, un gran numero di note esplicative (per la maggior parte scritte dall’autore), una prefazione dell’astronauta Michael Collins, una breve postfazione scritta dalla moglie di Young per l’edizione italiana e infine una verifica minuziosa dei numerosi dettagli tecnici effettuata da Paolo Attivissimo, noto giornalista ed esperto di missioni spaziali.

A narrative history of the unlikely Maoist rebellion that terrorized Peru even after the fall of global Communism. On May 17, 1980, on the eve of Peru’s presidential election, five masked men stormed a small town in the Andean heartland. They set election ballots ablaze and vanished into the night, but not before planting a red hammer-and-sickle banner in the town square. The lone man arrested the next morning later swore allegiance to a group called Shining Path. The tale of how this ferocious group of guerrilla insurgents launched a decade-long reign of terror, and how brave police investigators and journalists brought it to justice, may be the most compelling chapter in modern Latin American history, but the full story has never been told. Described by a U.S. State Department cable as “cold-blooded and bestial,” Shining Path orchestrated bombings, assassinations, and massacres across the cities, countryside, and jungles of Peru in a murderous campaign to seize power and impose a Communist government. At its helm was the professor-turned-revolutionary Abimael Guzmán, who launched his single-minded insurrection alongside two women: his charismatic young wife, Augusta La Torre, and the formidable Elena Iparraguirre, who married Guzmán soon after Augusta’s mysterious death. Their fanatical devotion to an outmoded and dogmatic ideology, and the military’s bloody response, led to the death of nearly 70,000 Peruvians. Orin Starn and Miguel La Serna’s narrative history of Shining Path is both panoramic and intimate, set against the socioeconomic upheavals of Peru’s rocky transition from military dictatorship to elected democracy. They take readers deep into the heart of the rebellion, and the lives and country it nearly destroyed. We hear the voices of the mountain villagers who organized a fierce rural resistance, and meet the irrepressible black activist María Elena Moyano and the Nobel Prize–winning novelist Mario Vargas Llosa, who each fought to end the bloodshed. Deftly written, The Shining Path is an exquisitely detailed account of a little-remembered war that must never be forgotten.

A PDF version of this book is available for free in open access via www.tandfebooks.com as well as the OAPEN Library platform, www.oapen.org. It has been made available under a Creative Commons Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives 3.0 license and is part of the OAPEN-UK research project. This book is an examination of the effect of contemporary wars (such as the 'War on Terror') on civil life at a global level. Contemporary literature on war is mainly devoted to recent changes in the theory and practice of warfare, particular those in which terrorists or insurgents are involved (for example, the 'revolution in military affairs', 'small wars', and so on). On the other hand, today's research on security is focused, among other themes, on the effects of the war on terrorism, and on civil liberties and social control. This volume connects these two fields of research, showing how 'war' and 'security' tend to exchange targets and forms of action as well as personnel (for instance, the spreading use of private contractors in wars and of military experts in the 'struggle for security') in modern society. This shows how, contrary to Clausewitz's belief war should be conceived of as a "continuation of politics by other means", the opposite statement is also true: that politics, insofar as it concerns security, can be defined as the 'continuation of war by other means'. This book will be of much interest to students of critical security studies, war and conflict studies, terrorism studies, sociology and IR in general.

Alessandro Dal Lago is Professor of Sociology of Culture and Communication at the University of Genoa.

Thomas L. Friedman's phenomenal number-one bestseller The World is Flat has helped millions of readers see the world in a new way. In this essential new book, Friedman takes a fresh and provocative look at two of the biggest challenges we face today: the global environmental crisis and America's surprising loss of focus and national purpose since 9/11. It is a groundbreaking account of where we stand now, and he shows us how the solutions to these two big problems are linked - how we can restore the world and revive America at the same time. Friedman explains how global warming, rapidly growing populations, and the astonishing expansion of the world's middle class through globalization have produced a planet that is 'hot, flat, and crowded'. In just a few years, it will be too late to fix things - unless there is a worldwide effort to replace our wasteful, inefficient energy practices with a strategy for clean energy, energy efficiency, and conservation that Friedman calls Code Green. This is a great challenge, Friedman explains, but also a great opportunity, and one that we cannot afford to miss. He argues that this cannot happen without American commitment and leadership. In vivid, entertaining chapters, Friedman makes it clear that the green revolution we need is like no revolution the world has seen. It will be the biggest innovation project in history; it will be hard, not easy; and it will change everything, from what you put into your car to what you see on your electric bill. But the payoff will be more than just cleaner air. It will inspire us to summon all the intelligence, creativity, boldness and concern for the common good that are our greatest human resources. Hot, Flat, and Crowded is classic Thomas L. Friedman: fearless, incisive, forward-looking, and rich in surprising common sense about the challenge - and the promise - of the future.

Gibraltar’s Detailed Assessment Report on Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Combating the Financing of Terrorism is reviewed. The principal AML risk to Gibraltar is lodged in its professional sector, which is likely to be involved in the layering and integration of proceeds of crime. There is also some risk to Gibraltar at the placement stage, in connection with drug trafficking, migrant smuggling, and organized crime in southern Spain. The Financial Services Commission in Gibraltar has established a strong, risk-based framework for financial institutions for AML.
